Democratic blogger attacked in Pensacola

Is the Pensacola News Journal tagging Democrats? According to this blogger:

I blog at the Pensacola News Journal at http://www.PNJ.com under the name “Pensacola”. I also run the web site for the Escambia Democratic Executive Committee at http://www.escambiademocrat s.org.

 This morning I posted a blog about the Saturday’s Escambia Democrats canvassing events at Head Quarters and about a fish fry in the afternoon.

Escambia is the name of our county here in the western panhandle of Florida

 

  At some point during the day between 9am and 11:30 people started flagging my profile as being offensive so my profile ended up becoming hid with a message that stated after I made changes it would be reviewed.

I contacted the Pensacola News Journal to inquire as to why my profile was flagged and they said they had it set so if enough people hit the report icon to report it as offensive, that it automatically hides the offensive content.

 If Pensacola were filled with honest people that process could work, but here I am doing what I do, promoting democracy as a volunteer and informing my neighbors of local and national politics and the bullies come out and shut me down. Not completely down, but enough that my blogs can’t be rotated on the front page like everyone’s blog post.

 The News Journal person I talked to said the Internet people would not be back until Monday, so I miss out on other blogs for tomorrow and everyone misses out on a link to my other blogs, videos and information they might only have time to access and run across on the weekend.
